PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif tables no-trust motion against PM Imran Khan in Pak Parliament

  A no-confidence motion against Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan was tabled on Monday in the National Assembly by Leader of the Opposition and PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif, setting in motion the process in the Lower House to remove the embattled cricketer-turned-politician from office.
As the much-anticipated session began after a two-day recess on Monday, Deputy Speaker Qasim Khan Suri asked the Members of the Parliament, who are in favour of the motion, to stand up to that their numbers could be counted.
Sharif first moved a resolution to allow tabling of the no-confidence motion in the National Assembly, the Lower House of bi-cameral Parliament, which was approved by 161 yes votes.
It was followed by tabling of the no-confidence motion by Sharif, capping the first phase of the constitutional procedure.
Since the voting should be held between 3-7 days, Deputy Speaker Suri who was chairing the session in the absence of Speaker Asad Qaidar, prorogued the session until 4 pm March 31, when it would reconvene for debate and voting.
Prime Minister Khan needs 172 votes in the house of 342 to foil the bid. Since Khan’s allies with 23 members are still not committed to support him and about two dozen lawmakers from within the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf have revolted, the situation was still fluid.
Khan was meeting Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid, a key ally, while the Opposition was scheduled to hold a massive rally in the capital, as both side claims having numbers to succeed.
